Being a woman is awesome, but there are some things about it that require extra effort. Keeping your vaginal area feeling fresh all day is one such challenge, and the uncomfortable feeling we've all experienced down there, at one point or another, can be attributed to even the smallest reasons: your daily feminine care routine, the cleansing products you use, and even the clothes you wear. Here are some of the most common issues we’ve faced:ItchingWe've all felt that uncontrollable urge to scratch ourselves down there at the most dyahe and unexpected times, like when we're in the middle of a presentation at work, or while we're waiting in line for the train. That bothersome itch usually just means that your vagina is irritated by your underwear or feminine pads. It might also be a reaction to the dried-up sweat that accumulates down there when you commute or exercise, and it can get worse if you're fond of wearing tight clothes. If itching persists, it could be something more serious. It's probably a sign that you should visit your doctor soon.OdorIf you catch a whiff of a musky odor near your crotch area, don't panic. It's probably only caused by trapped sweat, especially when you haven't changed your undies or when you're on your period. The smell can vary, but one thing's for sure: It shouldn't be unpleasant. Bad hygiene habits, like not properly rinsing or wiping your vaginal area after peeing, can also make the odor worse.

IrritationHave you ever felt an uncomfortable burning sensation down there after a bikini wax, or while using soap? That's because your vaginal area is especially sensitive, and a lot of chemicals can make it feel uncomfortable. Harsh soaps, creams, hair-removal products, and even toilet paper (!) can irritate the vulva, causing an itchy, burning feeling that can be accompanied by other symptoms like redness, swelling, and discomfort during peeing.

The vagina can get exposed to bacteria from our various daily activities, resulting in a change in vaginal pH. This can lead to itching, odor, and irritation. The feminine area needs special care and attention, so it's very important that we develop good daily hygienic habits. Start by using a mild feminine wash like pH Care Naturals Feminine Wash with Guava Leaf Extract, which effectively cleanses your external genitalia while providing it with natural anti-bacterial protection against odor, itching, and irritation. It's pH-balanced, making it gentle and safe for daily use. Plus, it's clinically tested by OB-gynes, so you know your vagina will be getting the care it deserves.
